March 8th International Woman's Day
Years ago when I worked for a russian company (half owned by russians)

Jean-Léon Gérôme - Selling Slaves in Rome
...those who have an eye for classical painting details will know... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rPSP_6jXr8...areopagiem.jpg Waiting for the Barbarians by Constantine Cavafy What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum? The barbarians are due here today. Why isn't anything going on in the senate? Why are the senators sitting there without legislating? Because the barbarians are coming today. What's the point of senators making laws now? Once the barbarians are here, they'll do the legislating. Why did our emperor get up so early, and why is he sitting enthroned at the city's main gate, in state, wearing the crown? Because the barbarians are coming today and the emperor's waiting to receive their leader. He's even got a scroll to give him, loaded with titles, with imposing names. Why have our two consuls and praetors come out today wearing their embroidered, their scarlet togas? Why have they put on bracelets with so many amethysts, rings sparkling with magnificent emeralds? Why are they carrying elegant canes beautifully worked in silver and gold? Because the barbarians are coming today and things like that dazzle the barbarians. Why don't our distinguished orators turn up as usual to make their speeches, say what they have to say? Because the barbarians are coming today and they're bored by rhetoric and public speaking. Why this sudden bewilderment, this confusion? (How serious people's faces have become.) Why are the streets and squares emptying so rapidly, everyone going home lost in thought? Because night has fallen and the barbarians haven't come. And some of our men just in from the border say there are no barbarians any longer. Now what's going to happen to us without barbarians? Those people were a kind of solution. |

The Selling slaves in Rome
I LOVE THE PAINTING !
and yes I am a real woman, or am I ? anyway I am a mother, I have given birth to them both myself. Look at the faces of the men, she is shining so BRIGHTLY that the men are almost blinded by her LIGHT! Her purity, naked skin is too much contrast to their dirty minds... they hide their heads. you want me to go on.... - (I was once one of those Priestesses in Machu Picchu, Egypt, Atlantis... and I do remember what happened to us...but we are coming back even more brighter, stronger in our LIGHT....) Love, a. |
Re: March 8th International Woman's Day
OK..This master piece of love toward women accuses men for enslaving them...or this woman particular. See the colors, all men clothes are fascinating red, it is dominating...as they are sink in a blood up to their necks...the blood of victims, women.
Than see the gesticulations of most of them. Can you reed it? As they are afraid from a (naked) woman, from her beauty (woman`s body is just shining)...they do not understand women, they are tyrants. Than, see that small sculpture in the middle of the paint. Who is that? Maybe a God Mars, or maybe just some noble warrior? Or maybe even Athena?...and, what is most important, see where the direction of the spear is...toward the cowards-tyrants. Classic paintings, specially the greatest ones, are telling us a lot with such a details, and there is not only one level of meaning. And, what do you think, why is she covering her eyes with hands, and not some parts of the body, that would be usualy an instinctive reaction? She can`t look at them? Why? If i would like to go further, maybe I could comment why the blue overcoat that is just taken out of her - is exactly blue? It has meaning, but it is enough, I think. Satisfied? Greetings. |

Maria
Quote:
(as I had to make dinner for my children, so I could not write that long, women's duties, you see, a single mom...) I saw the RED, the color of HIGH PRIESTESS called MARIA. I know that as I am part of that line, I still have in both of my palms the lines creating a strong and clear M. (and my middle name is M.) So, the Vatican changed all that...took the color red for themselves, and the women who wore red were whores. Enough ? (need to go to the store...) a |

Re: March 8th International Woman's Day
MOD NOTE: I removed the image of the Painting by Jean-Léon Gérôme as it was not appropriate for this thread. The posts related to that painting were also removed for the purposes of continuity.
Blessings to all the Woman on this day and all others. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/c...otusflower.jpg |

So funny...one of the most famous master pieces of art, expressing how women were enslaving through history, expressing enormous compassion and love toward women, was removed because "it was not appropriate" for a thread about 8th March?! Ha, ha...! (But, OK, I will post it on another thread). Really funny...and sad, my friend. |
Re: March 8th International Woman's Day
Eugene Delacroix - Liberty leading The People
(Is this not appropriate, too? Before eventaually removing it, think that this painting is one of the iconic symbols of the state of France, so some French here can charge you for disrespecting their history.) http://www.ncc-1776.org/tletoon/dela...the_people.jpg |
Cucumber ?
Quote:
And "CUCUMBERS" were not removed as that is about honouring women on Women's day, :shocked: If no one does not yet know, I say it here clear and loud, A cucumber is symbol of penis. So, is that what the moderators, Gaia Love, Richard, who removed the painting I posted, and the painting that Oliver posted, want to give for women on Women's day to "honour" them ?, some sex ? more humiliation ? a. |
Re: March 8th International Woman's Day
Sexual content is against the guidelines..The Painting wasnt so much the issue then the highly sexualy charged response it got.
The thread WAS about HONORING women...how ever i do not feel that was YOUR intent. |
Re: March 8th International Woman's Day
welcome to the richard and celine show.

Re: March 8th International Woman's Day
Oh please...
Guess maybe i should divorce him and live far far away..and then its ok? Trust me... the posts would still have been reported... |
sexual charged ?

Re: March 8th International Woman's Day
I liked the painting Oliver... in fact I lived in Paris for a year and a half, I have seen many like it, including the Liberte one you have posted.
What annoys me most, is no one even mentioned the joke caption about the newpaper and pint of milk trick I placed under it. :original: What a waste :original: I'm slightly surprised that if we're worried about pictures of women on this thread, naked or otherwise, why paste a semi-clad woman in the lotus position (who is seemingly being impregnated by the seeds of a lotus flower?)...because Avalon is full of picture posts.. often by women, of fairies and nymphs in various states of undress.... Where to draw the line... only post the female form in a burka ? Let's not start to have a sense of humour failure about that. |
Re: March 8th International Woman's Day
not such a long time ago celine made a thread about that Love Park in South Korea and invited people to take a walk there...i did...and what I found there was disgusting to me...and now someone is trying to find sexual connotations in the picture or its interpretation? What about The Art of Touch thread? Putting up a photo of a man and a woman in bed, naked??? I feel offended and I couldn't sleep lst night because of it... witchhunt has begun?:lol3::lol3::lol3:

I'm not suggesting anyone should post anything of an overt nature, I understand the forum has guidelines - and I can honestly say that I don't think I have posted one picture yet of the eroto-fantasy art around here that you can't move for without stumbling over. It doesn't bother me, I'm a bloke after all, and some of them are really cute... But seeing as we're supposed to be a pretty enlightened bunch *cough* you'd think we wouldn't have to be too worried about pictures causing offence amongst ourselves, would you? It's not like we're in an episode of Ally McBeal is it? Some laywer at the ready for the slightest act of defamation or perceived degradation? The whole male/female thing is a red herring anyway in my opinion (I should know, I've been called one enough times :original:). At one level we're exactly the same, and at another level we're exactly different. A paradox? No, I'd call that a cause for celebration. Love to all the women and men out there, K |

Re: March 8th International Woman's Day
I didn`t see last night comments on the painting I posted, since I went to bed.
It is possible that some provocateurs/trolls were using the painting to place sexual connotations, very possible, ...but than only the ugly comments should be removed, not the painting. Gaya`s explanation was as the painting was the problem, hmmmm... Whatever, mistakes are happening. Relax. |
Re: March 8th International Woman's Day
Oliver... it is hard to relax...
sorry for being an emotional being... :tears: |
